Sinopse

The advent of high-precision antihydrogen spectroscopy has opened up theápossibility of direct tests with unprecedented accuracy of some of theámost fundamental principles of physics, notably Lorentz and CPT symmetryáand the Einstein equivalence principle.This book reviews these principles, emphasising their interconnections ináquantum field theory and general relativity and the special role ofáantimatter, and explores how they may be tested in current and forthcomingáexperiments on antihydrogen. Original research results relevant to theáexperimental programme of the ALPHA collaboration at CERN are presented,átogether with the implications for antihydrogen of proposed theoriesáfeaturing novel `fifth-forceâÇÖ interactions.
